While the main trailer for this film was quite impressive and promising, I must admit that the movie loses it's freshness due to the postmodern features.
And with that I principally mean the normalization of frighteningly strange story points. With that I mean the lack of an accurate representation on how someone normal would react to the things going on.
Daniel Brühl is brilliant, as he should be, but his character and the others do not react normally. This gives the movie an bizarre feeling. Because the sense of being appalled is not properly shown.
From a filmmaking point of view this film is solid, but it just fails because of postmodernism.
